Stephen Colbert guesses entire plot of Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Late Show host Stephen Colbert has joined the rest of the internet in speculating about the heavily guarded plot to Star Wars: The Force Awakens, claiming that he – a self-proclaimed super fan – has “the definitive guess as to the entire plot of the movie”.

After joking about his friendship with director J.J. Abrams, the comedian astutely predicts that those in the Star Wars universe whom we have known to represent good will be corrupted, and those who have traditionally fought for evil will find redemption in the light.

“I predict that dark becomes light; that light becomes dark. That the very fabric of the force is stretched to its limit, as a new generation emerges to tear down the distinctions of the past, and unite all of us, old and new … once and for all bringing peace to the galaxy.”

He also suggests that John Boyega’s character – former Stormtrooper Finn – will be the key to this paradigm shift.

Watch Colbert’s prediction below, and make sure to check the accuracy of it when Star Wars: The Force Awakens finally hits UK theatres on December 17th of this year.
